1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first {day} of the
second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the
house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years
old and upward, by their polls.
1:19 As the Lord commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of
Sinai.

1:47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among

1:48 For the Lord had spoken unto Moses, saying,
1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them
among the children of Israel:
1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and
over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that {belong} to it: they
shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister
unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down:
and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
1:52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own
camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
1:53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that
there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the
Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
1:54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded
Moses, so did they.
2:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2:2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with
the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the
congregation shall they pitch.
2:3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the
standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the
son of Amminadab {shall be} captain of the children of Judah.

2:9 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah {were} an hundred thousand and
fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies.
These shall first set forth.

the son of Shedeur.
2:11 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, {were} forty and six
thousand and five hundred.
2:12 And those which pitch by him {shall be} the tribe of Simeon: and the
captain of the children of Simeon {shall be} Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
2:13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} fifty and nine
thousand and three hundred.
2:14 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad {shall be}
Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
2:15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} forty and five
thousand and six hundred and fifty.
2:16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben {were} an hundred thousand
and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies.
And they shall set forth in the second rank.
2:17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of
the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set
forward, every man in his place by their standards.
2:18 On the west side {shall be} the standard of the camp of Ephraim according
to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim {shall be} Elishama the
son of Ammihud.
2:19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} forty thousand
and five hundred.

2:21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} thirty and two
thousand and two hundred.

2:23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} thirty and five

Ammishaddai.
2:26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} threescore and
two thousand and seven hundred.
2:27 And those that encamp by him {shall be} the tribe of Asher: and the
captain of the children of Asher {shall be} Pagiel the son of Ocran.
2:28 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} forty and one
thousand and five hundred.
2:29 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali
{shall be} Ahira the son of Enan.
2:30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, {were} fifty and three
thousand and four hundred.
2:31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan {were} an hundred thousand
and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their
standards.
2:32 These {are} those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the
house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout
their hosts {were} six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and
fifty.
2:33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the
Lord commanded Moses.
2:34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded
Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one
after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
3:1 These also {are} the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day {that} the
Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
3:2 And these {are} the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and
Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3:3 These {are} the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
3:4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire
before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and
Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron
their father.
3:5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
3:6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest,
that they may minister unto him.
3:7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation
before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
3:8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of
the tabernacle.
3:9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they {are}
wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
3:10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their
priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
3:11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel
instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of
Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
3:13 Because all the firstborn {are} mine; {for} on the day that I smote all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in
Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I {am} the Lord.
3:14 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
3:15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their
families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
3:16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was
commanded.
3:17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and

males, from a month old and upward, {even} those that were numbered of them
{were} seven thousand and five hundred.

westward.
3:24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites {shall be}
Eliasaph the son of Lael.
3:25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation {shall be} the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and

3:26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court,
which {is} by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it
for all the service thereof.
3:27 And of Kohath {was} the family of the Amramites, and the family of the
Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites:
these {are} the families of the Kohathites.
3:28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, {were} eight
thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
3:29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the
tabernacle southward.
3:30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites
{shall be} Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
3:31 And their charge {shall be} the ark, and the table, and the candlestick,
and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and
the hanging, and all the service thereof.
3:32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest {shall be} chief over the chief of
the Levites, {and have} the oversight of them that keep the charge of the
sanctuary.
3:33 Of Merari {was} the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the

3:34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the

3:35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari {was}
Zuriel the son of Abihail: {these} shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle
northward.
3:36 And {under} the custody and charge of the sons of Merari {shall be} the
boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and
the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
3:37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their
pins, and their cords.
3:38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, {even} before
the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, {shall be} Moses, and Aaron and
his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of
Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
3:39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at
the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a
month old and upward, {were} twenty and two thousand.
3:40 And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the
children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their
names.
3:41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I {am} the Lord) instead of all
the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites
instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
3:42 And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the
children of Israel.
3:43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and
upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two
hundred and threescore and thirteen.
3:44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
3:45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of
Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites
shall be mine: I {am} the Lord.
3:46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore
and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than
the Levites;
3:47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of
the sanctuary shalt thou take {them}: (the shekel {is} twenty gerahs:)
3:48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be
redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
3:49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them
that were redeemed by the Levites:
3:50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand
three hundred and threescore and five {shekels}, after the shekel of the
sanctuary:
3:51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his
sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
4:2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their
families, by the house of their fathers,
4:3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter
into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:4 This {shall be} the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the
congregation, {about} the most holy things:
4:5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they
shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
4:6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over
{it} a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
4:7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put
thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal:
and the continual bread shall be thereon:
4:8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with
a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
4:9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the
light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil
vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
4:10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of
badgers' skins, and shall put {it} upon a bar.
4:11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it
with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
4:12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they
minister in the sanctuary, and put {them} in a cloth of blue, and cover them
with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put {them} on a bar:
4:13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple
cloth thereon:
4:14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister about it, {even} the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the
basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering
of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
4:15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary,
and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after
that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear {it}: but they shall not touch
{any} holy thing, lest they die. These {things are} the burden of the sons of
Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest {pertaineth} the
oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the
anointing oil, {and} the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that
therein {is}, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
4:17 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
4:18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the
Levites:
4:19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach
unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them
every one to his service and to his burden:
4:20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest
they die.
4:21 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
4:22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their
fathers, by their families;
4:23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number
them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4:24 This {is} the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and
for burdens:
4:25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of
the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that
{is} above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation,
4:26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of
the court, which {is} by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their
cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them:
so shall they serve.
4:27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the
sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye
shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
4:28 This {is} the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge {shall be} under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by
the house of their fathers;
4:30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou
number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4:31 And this {is} the charge of their burden, according to all their service
in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the
bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
4:32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their
pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service:
and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
4:33 This {is} the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to
all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of
the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,

entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
4:36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand
seven hundred and fifty.

Moses.
4:38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their

tabernacle of the congregation.
4:48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five
hundred and fourscore,
4:49 According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of
Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus
were they numbered of him, as the Lord commanded Moses.
5:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
5:2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper,
and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
5:3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them;
that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
5:4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as
the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
5:6 Speak unto the children of Israel, when a man or woman shall commit any sin
that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty;
5:7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall
recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth
{part} thereof, and give {it} unto {him} against whom he hath trespassed.
5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the
trespass be recompensed unto the Lord, {even} to the priest; beside the ram of
the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
5:9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which
they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth
the priest, it shall be his.
5:11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
5:12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go
aside, and commit a trespass against him,
5:13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her
husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and {there be} no witness
against her, neither she be taken {with the manner};
5:14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife,
and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
5:15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her
offering for her, the tenth {part} of an Ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no
oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it {is} an offering of jealousy,
an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord:
5:17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust
that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put {it} into
the water:
5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the
woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which {is} the
jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that
causeth the curse:
5:19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, if no
man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness {with
another} instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that
causeth the curse:
5:20 But if thou hast gone aside {to another} instead of thy husband, and if
thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the
priest shall say unto the woman, the Lord make thee a curse and an oath among
thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
5:22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make
{thy} belly to swell, and {thy} thigh to rot: and the woman shall say, Amen,
Amen.
5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot
{them} out with the bitter water:
5:24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the
curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, {and become}
bitter.
5:25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand,
and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar:
5:26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, {even} the memorial
thereof, and burn {it} upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to
drink the water.
5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass,
{that}, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the
water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, {and become} bitter, and her
belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse
among her people.
5:28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and
shall conceive seed.
5:29 This {is} the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside {to another}
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his
wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute
upon her all this law.
5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear
her iniquity.
6:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or
woman shall separate {themselves} to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
{themselves} unto the Lord:
6:3 He shall separate {himself} from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no
vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor
of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
6:4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the
vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
6:5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no rasor come upon
his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth {himself}
unto the Lord, he shall be holy, {and} shall let the locks of the hair of his
head grow.
6:6 All the days that he separateth {himself} unto the Lord he shall come at no
dead body.
6:7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for
his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his
God {is} upon his head.
6:8 All the days of his separation he {is} holy unto the Lord.
6:9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of
his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on
the seventh day shall he shave it.
6:10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to
the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
6:11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead,
and shall hallow his head that same day.
6:12 And he shall consecrate unto the Lord the days of his separation, and
shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that
were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
6:13 And this {is} the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are
fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation:
6:14 And he shall offer his offering unto the Lord, one he lamb of the first
year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace
offerings,
6:15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,
and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and
their drink offerings.
6:16 And the priest shall bring {them} before the Lord, and shall offer his sin
offering, and his burnt offering:
6:17 And he shall offer the ram {for} a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the
Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat
offering, and his drink offering.
6:18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation {at} the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his
separation, and put {it} in the fire which {is} under the sacrifice of the
peace offerings.
6:19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put
{them} upon the hands of the Nazarite, after {the hair of} his separation is
shaven:
6:20 And the priest shall wave them {for} a wave offering before the Lord: this
{is} holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after
that the Nazarite may drink wine.
6:21 This {is} the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, {and of} his offering
unto the Lord for his separation, beside {that} that his hand shall get:
according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his
separation.
6:22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6:23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless
the children of Israel, saying unto them,
6:24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
6:25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
6:26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
6:27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless
them.
7:1 And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle,
and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both
the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified
them;
7:2 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who {were}
the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
7:3 And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, and
twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they
brought them before the tabernacle.
7:4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
7:5 Take {it} of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man
according to his service.
7:6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
7:7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to
their service:
7:8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according
unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
7:9 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the
sanctuary belonging unto them {was that} they should bear upon their shoulders.
7:10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was
anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
7:11 And the Lord said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince
on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.

7:89 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak
with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy
seat that {was} upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and
he spake unto him.
8:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven
lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
8:3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the
candlestick, as the Lord commanded Moses.
8:4 And this work of the candlestick {was of} beaten gold, unto the shaft
thereof, unto the flowers thereof, {was} beaten work: according unto the
pattern which the Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
8:5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
8:6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
8:7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of
purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash
their clothes, and {so} make themselves clean.
8:8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, {even} fine
flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin
offering.
8:9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation:
and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
8:10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord: and the children of
Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
8:11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord {for} an offering of the
children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.
8:12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and
thou shalt offer the one {for} a sin offering, and the other {for} a burnt
offering, unto the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.
8:13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and
offer them {for} an offering unto the Lord.
8:14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel:
and the Levites shall be mine.
8:15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle
of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them {for} an
offering.
8:16 For they {are} wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel;
instead of such as open every womb, {even instead of} the firstborn of all the
children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
8:17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel {are} mine, {both} man and
beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I
sanctified them for myself.
8:18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of
Israel.
8:19 And I have given the Levites {as} a gift to Aaron and to his sons from
among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in
the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children
of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the
children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
8:20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel,
did to the Levites according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning
the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
8:21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron
offered them {as} an offering before the Lord; and Aaron made an atonement for
them to cleanse them.
8:22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle
of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the Lord had
commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
8:23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
8:24 This {is it} that {belongeth} unto the Levites: from twenty and five years
old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation:
8:25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service
{thereof}, and shall serve no more:
8:26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the
congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do
unto the Levites touching their charge.
9:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first
month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the
ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
9:4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the
passover.
9:5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even
in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel.
9:6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man,
that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses
and before Aaron on that day:
9:7 And those men said unto him, We {are} defiled by the dead body of a man:
wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the Lord in
his appointed season among the children of Israel?
9:8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will
command concerning you.
9:9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
9:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your
posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or {be} in a journey afar
off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord.
9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, {and}
eat it with unleavened bread and bitter {herbs}.
9:12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it:
according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
9:13 But the man that {is} clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to
keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people:
because he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed season, that
man shall bear his sin.
9:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto
the Lord; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the
manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the
stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the
tabernacle, {namely}, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the
tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
9:16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it {by day}, and the appearance of fire
by night.
9:17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the
children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the
children of Israel pitched their tents.
9:18 At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at
the commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the
tabernacle they rested in their tents.
9:19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not.
9:20 And {so} it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents, and
according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.
9:21 And {so} it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and
{that} the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether {it
was} by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
9:22 Or {whether it were} two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud
tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in
their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
9:23 At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents, and at the
commandment of the Lord they journeyed: they kept the charge of the Lord, at
the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
10:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them:
that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the
journeying of the camps.
10:3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
10:4 And if they blow {but} with one {trumpet}, then the princes, {which are}
heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go
forward.
10:6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the
south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their
journeys.
10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but
ye shall not sound an alarm.
10:8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they
shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
10:9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you,
then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered
before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the
beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt
offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to
you for a memorial before your God: I {am} the Lord your God.
10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth {day} of the second month, in the
second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the
testimony.
10:12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of
Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
10:13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the
Lord by the hand of Moses.
10:14 In the first {place} went the standard of the camp of the children of
Judah according to their armies: and over his host {was} Nahshon the son of
Amminadab.
10:15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar {was}
Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
10:16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun {was} Eliab the
son of Helon.
10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons
of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their
armies: and over his host {was} Elizur the son of Shedeur.
10:19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon {was} Shelumiel
the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad {was} Eliasaph the
son of Deuel.
10:21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and {the other}
did set up the tabernacle against they came.
10:22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward
according to their armies: and over his host {was} Elishama the son of Ammihud.
10:23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh {was} Gamaliel
the son of Pedahzur.
10:24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin {was} Abidan
the son of Gideoni.
10:25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, {which
was} the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host
{was} Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
10:26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher {was} Pagiel the
son of Ocran.
10:27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali {was} Ahira
the son of Enan.
10:28 Thus {were} the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their
armies, when they set forward.
10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father
in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it
you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good
concerning Israel.
10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land,
and to my kindred.
10:31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we
are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
10:32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness
the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
10:33 And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days' journey: and the
ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days' journey, to
search out a resting place for them.
10:34 And the cloud of the Lord {was} upon them by day, when they went out of
the camp.
10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up,
Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee
before thee.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, unto the many thousands of
Israel.
11:1 And {when} the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord
heard {it}; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among
them, and consumed {them that were} in the uttermost parts of the camp.
11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the
fire was quenched.
11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord
burnt among them.
11:4 And the mixt multitude that {was} among them fell a lusting: and the
children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and
the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
11:6 But now our soul {is} dried away: {there is} nothing at all, beside this
manna, {before} our eyes.
11:7 And the manna {was} as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the
colour of bdellium.
11:8 {And} the people went about, and gathered {it}, and ground {it} in mills,
or beat {it} in a mortar, and baked {it} in pans, and made cakes of it: and the
taste of it was as the taste of Fresh oil.
11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
11:10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in
the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also
was displeased.
11:11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant?
and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden
of all this people upon me?
11:12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou
shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the
sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep
unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
11:14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because {it is} too heavy
for me.
11:15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I
have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
11:16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of
Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over
them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may
stand there with thee.
11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the
spirit which {is} upon thee, and will put {it} upon them; and they shall bear
the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear {it} not thyself alone.
11:18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and
ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall
give us flesh to eat? for {it was} well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord
will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days,
nor twenty days;
11:20 {But} even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be
loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which {is} among
you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
11:21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I {am, are} six hundred thousand
footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole
month.
11:22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or
shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
11:23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord's hand waxed short? thou shalt
see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
11:24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and
gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about
the tabernacle.
11:25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the
spirit that {was} upon him, and gave {it} unto the seventy elders: and it came
to pass, {that}, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not
cease.
11:26 But there remained two {of the} men in the camp, the name of the one
{was} Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them;
and they {were} of them that were written, but went not out unto the
tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do
prophesy in the camp.
11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, {one} of his young men,
answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the
Lord's people were prophets, {and} that the Lord would put his spirit upon
them!
11:30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
11:31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the
sea, and let {them} fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side,
and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as
it were two cubits {high} upon the face of the earth.
11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all {that} night, and all the
next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten
homers: and they spread {them} all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
11:33 And while the flesh {was} yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the
wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people
with a very great plague.
11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they
buried the people that lusted.
11:35 {And} the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode
at Hazeroth.
12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
12:2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not
spoken also by us? And the Lord heard {it}.
12:3 (Now the man Moses {was} very meek, above all the men which {were} upon
the face of the earth.)
12:4 And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came
out.
12:5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood {in} the door
of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, {I} the
Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, {and} will speak unto him in
a dream.
12:7 My servant Moses {is} not so, who {is} faithful in all mine house.
12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark
speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were
ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
12:9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.
12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam
{became} leprous, {white} as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold,
{she was} leprous.
12:11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin
upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he
cometh out of his mother's womb.
12:13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech
thee.
12:14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face,
should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven
days, and after that let her be received in {again}.
12:15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people
journeyed not till Miriam was brought in {again}.
12:16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wilderness of Paran.
13:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
13:2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto
the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man,
every one a ruler among them.
13:3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of
Paran: all those men {were} heads of the children of Israel.
13:4 And these {were} their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of
Zaccur.
13:5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
13:6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
13:9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph, {namely}, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son
of Susi.
13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
13:16 These {are} the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land.
And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
13:17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them,
Get you up this {way} southward, and go up into the mountain:
13:18 And see the land, what it {is}, and the people that dwelleth therein,
whether they {be} strong or weak, few or many;
13:19 And what the land {is} that they dwell in, whether it {be} good or bad;
and what cities {they be} that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong
holds;
13:20 And what the land {is}, whether it {be} fat or lean, whether there be
wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the
land. Now the time {was} the time of the firstripe grapes.
13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto
Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman,
Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, {were}. (now Hebron was built seven
years before Zoan in Egypt.)
13:23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch
with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and
{they brought} of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes
which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
13:25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
13:26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the
congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to
Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and
shewed them the fruit of the land.
13:27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest
us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this {is} the fruit of it.
13:28 Nevertheless the people {be} strong that dwell in the land, and the
cities {are} walled, {and} very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak
there.
13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the
Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell
by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at
once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against
the people; for they {are} stronger than we.
13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched
unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to
search it, {is} a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the
people that we saw in it {are} men of a great stature.
13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, {which come} of the
giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their
sight.
14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people
wept that night.
14:2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron:
and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the
land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
14:3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the
sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for
us to return into Egypt?
14:4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return
into Egypt.
14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the
congregation of the children of Israel.
14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, {which were} of
them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
14:7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The
land, which we passed through to search it, {is} an exceeding good land.
14:8 If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give
it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
14:9 Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the
land; for they {are} bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the
Lord {is} with us: fear them not.
14:10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of
the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children
of Israel.
14:11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and
how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed
among them?
14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make
of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
14:13 And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear {it}, (for
thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
14:14 And they will tell {it} to the inhabitants of this land: {for} they have
heard that thou Lord {art} among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to
face, and {that} thy cloud standeth over them, and {that} thou goest before
them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
14:15 Now {if} thou shalt kill {all} this people as one man, then the nations
which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
14:16 Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he
sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
14:17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as
thou hast spoken, saying,
14:18 The Lord {is} longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and
transgression, and by no means clearing {the guilty}, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth {generation}.
14:19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the
greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even
until now.
14:20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
14:21 But {as} truly {as} I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory
of the Lord.
14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I
did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times,
and have not hearkened to my voice;
14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,
neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath
followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his
seed shall possess it.
14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow
turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
14:26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:27 How long {shall I bear with} this evil congregation, which murmur against
me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur
against me.
14:28 Say unto them, {As truly as} I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in
mine ears, so will I do to you:
14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered
of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which
have murmured against me.
14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, {concerning} which I sware to
make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of
Nun.
14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring
in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
14:32 But {as for} you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear
your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, {even} forty
days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, {even} forty years,
and ye shall know my breach of promise.
14:35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil
congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they
shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
14:36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made
all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the
land,
14:37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by
the plague before the Lord.
14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, {which were}
of the men that went to search the land, lived {still}.
14:39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the
people mourned greatly.
14:40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of
the mountain, saying, Lo, we {be here}, and will go up unto the place which the
Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.
14:41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the
Lord? but it shall not prosper.
14:42 Go not up, for the Lord {is} not among you; that ye be not smitten before
your enemies.
14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites {are} there before you, and ye
shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore
the Lord will not be with you.
14:44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the
covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that
hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, {even} unto Hormah.
15:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into
the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
15:3 And will make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, or a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn
feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the Lord, of the herd or of the flock:
15:4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord bring a meat
offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth {part} of an hin of
oil.
15:5 And the fourth {part} of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou
prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
15:6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare {for} a meat offering two tenth deals of
flour mingled with the third {part} of an hin of oil.
15:7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third {part} of an hin of
wine, {for} a sweet savour unto the Lord.
15:8 And when thou preparest a bullock {for} a burnt offering, or {for} a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the Lord:
15:9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of
flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
15:10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, {for} an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
15:11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or
a kid.
15:12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every
one according to their number.
15:13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner,
in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
15:14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever {be} among you in your
generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
the Lord; as ye do, so he shall do.
15:15 One ordinance {shall be both} for you of the congregation, and also for
the stranger that sojourneth {with you}, an ordinance for ever in your
generations: as ye {are}, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
sojourneth with you.
15:17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15:18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
the land whither I bring you,
15:19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall
offer up an heave offering unto the Lord.
15:20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough {for} an heave
offering: as {ye do} the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye
heave it.
15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an heave offering
in your generations.
15:22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the
Lord hath spoken unto Moses,
15:23 {Even} all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from
the day that the Lord commanded {Moses}, and henceforward among your
generations;
15:24 Then it shall be, if {ought} be committed by ignorance without the
knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young
bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, with his meat
offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the
goats for a sin offering.
15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it {is} ignorance: and
they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and
their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance:
15:26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel,
and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people {were} in
ignorance.
15:27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of
the first year for a sin offering.
15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement
for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, {both for}
him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that
sojourneth among them.
15:30 But the soul that doeth {ought} presumptuously, {whether he be} born in
the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall be
cut off from among his people.
15:31 Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his
commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity {shall be} upon
him.
15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man
that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and
Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
15:34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done
to him.
15:35 And The Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all
the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him
with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.
15:37 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them
fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that
they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
15:39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and
remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them and that ye seek not
after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
15:40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your
God.
15:41 I {am} the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to
be your God: I {am} the Lord your God.
16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and on, the son of Peleth, sons of
Reuben, took {men}:
16:2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two
hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of
renown:
16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and
said unto them, {Ye take} too much upon you, seeing all the congregation {are}
holy, every one of them, and the Lord {is} among them: wherefore then lift ye
up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?
16:4 And when Moses heard {it}, he fell upon his face:
16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow
the Lord will shew who {are} his, and {who is} holy; and will cause {him} to
come near unto him: even {him} whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near
unto him.
16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the Lord to morrow:
and it shall be {that} the man whom the Lord doth choose, he {shall be} holy:
{ye take} too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
16:9 {Seemeth it but} a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath
separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to
do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the
congregation to minister unto them?
16:10 And he hath brought thee near {to him}, and all thy brethren the sons of
Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
16:11 For which cause {both} thou and all thy company {are} gathered together
against the Lord: and what {is} Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said,
We will not come up:
16:13 {Is it} a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that
floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make
thyself altogether a prince over us?
16:14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and
honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the
eyes of these men? we will not come up.
16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, Respect not thou their
offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the Lord,
thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye
before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also,
and Aaron, each {of you} his censer.
16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid
incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
with Moses and Aaron.
16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the
congregation.
16:20 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them
in a moment.
16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits
of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the
congregation?
16:23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle
of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of
Israel followed him.
16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the
tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in
all their sins.
16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every
side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and
their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all
these works; for {I have} not {done them} of mine own mind.
16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after
the visitation of all men; {then} the Lord hath not sent me.
16:30 But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and
swallow them up, with all that {appertain} unto them, and they go down quick
into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the Lord.
16:31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words,
that the ground clave asunder that {was} under them:
16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses,
and all the men that {appertained} unto Korah, and all {their} goods.
16:33 They, and all that {appertained} to them, went down alive into the pit,
and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
16:34 And all Israel that {were} round about them fled at the cry of them: for
they said, Lest the earth swallow us up {also}.
16:35 And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and
fifty men that offered incense.
16:36 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
16:37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the
censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are
hallowed.
16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them
broad plates {for} a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the
Lord, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children
of Israel.
16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were
burnt had offered; and they were made broad {plates for} a covering of the
altar:
16:40 {To be} a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which
{is} not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the Lord; that
he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the Lord said to him by the hand of
Moses.
16:41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the Lord.
16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and
against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and,
behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
16:44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a
moment. And they fell upon their faces.
16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off
the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make
an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord; the plague is
begun.
16:47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the
congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on
incense, and made an atonement for the people.
16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven
hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation: and the plague was stayed.
17:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod
according to the house of {their} fathers, of all their princes according to
the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his
rod.
17:3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod {shall
be} for the head of the house of their fathers.
17:4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before
the testimony, where I will meet with you.
17:5 And it shall come to pass, {that} the man's rod, whom I shall choose,
shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children
of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
17:6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their
princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers'
houses, {even} twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron {was} among their rods.
17:7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness.
17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of
witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and
brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord unto all the
children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
17:10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the
testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take
away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
17:11 And Moses did {so}: as the Lord commanded him, so did he.
17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we
perish, we all perish.
17:13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall
die: shall we be consumed with dying?
18:1 And the Lord said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house
with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with
thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
18:2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring
thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but
thou and thy sons with thee {shall minister} before the tabernacle of witness.
18:3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only
they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that
neither they, nor ye also, die.
18:4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle
of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger
shall not come nigh unto you.
18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the
altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the
children of Israel: to you {they are} given {as} a gift for the Lord, to do the
service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for
every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given
your priest's office {unto you as} a service of gift: and the stranger that
cometh nigh shall be put to death.
18:8 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge
of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel;
unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an
ordinance for ever.
18:9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, {reserved} from the fire:
every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering
of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they shall render unto
me, {shall be} most holy for thee and for thy sons.
18:10 In the most holy {place} shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it
shall be holy unto thee.
18:11 And this {is} thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave
offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy
sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is
clean in thy house shall eat of it.
18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat,
the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the Lord, them have I given
thee.
18:13 {And} whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto
the Lord, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat {of}
it.
18:14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
18:15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto
the Lord, {whether it be} of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the
firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts
shalt thou redeem.
18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem,
according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel
of the sanctuary, which {is} twenty gerahs.
18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling
of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they {are} holy: thou shalt sprinkle their
blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat {for} an offering made by fire,
for a sweet savour unto the Lord.
18:18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right
shoulder are thine.
18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel
offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with
thee, by a statute for ever: it {is} a covenant of salt for ever before the
Lord unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
18:20 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their
land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I {am} thy part and thine
inheritance among the children of Israel.
18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel
for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, {even} the service of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle
of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: {it shall be} a statute for
ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have
no inheritance.
18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer {as} an heave
offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I
have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no
inheritance.
18:25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the
children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your
inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the Lord,
{even} a tenth {part} of the tithe.
18:27 And {this} your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though {it
were} the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
18:28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the Lord of all your
tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof
the Lord's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
18:29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the Lord, of
all the best thereof, {even} the hallowed part thereof out of it.
18:30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof
from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the
threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
18:31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it {is}
your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
18:32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the
best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel,
lest ye die.
19:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
19:2 This {is} the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without
spot, wherein {is} no blemish, {and} upon which never came yoke:
19:3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth
without the camp, and {one} shall slay her before his face:
19:4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and
sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven
times:
19:5 And {one} shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and
her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast
{it} into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
19:7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in
water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be
unclean until the even.
19:8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his
flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
19:9 And a man {that is} clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay
{them} up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the
congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it {is} a
purification for sin.
19:10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and
be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and
unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
19:11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
19:12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day
he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh
day he shall not be clean.
19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth
not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut
off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he
shall be unclean; his uncleanness {is} yet upon him.
19:14 This {is} the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the
tent, and all that {is} in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
19:15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, {is}
unclean.
19:16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields,
or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
19:17 And for an unclean {person} they shall take of the ashes of the burnt
heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a
vessel:
19:18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip {it} in the water, and
sprinkle {it} upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons
that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead,
or a grave:
19:19 And the clean {person} shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day,
and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
19:20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that
soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the
sanctuary of the Lord: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon
him; he {is} unclean.
19:21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth
the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water
of separation shall be unclean until even.
19:22 And whatsoever the unclean {person} toucheth shall be unclean; and the
soul that toucheth {it} shall be unclean until even.
20:1 Then came the children of Israel, {even} the whole congregation, into the
desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam
died there, and was buried there.
20:2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves
together against Moses and against Aaron.
20:3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had
died when our brethren died before the Lord!
20:4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this
wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
20:5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto
this evil place? it {is} no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of
pomegranates; neither {is} there any water to drink.
20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the
glory of the Lord appeared unto them.
20:7 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy
brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth
his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou
shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.
20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock,
and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this
rock?
20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice:
and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts
{also}.
20:12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to
sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring
this congregation into the land which I have given them.
20:13 This {is} the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove
with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith
thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long
time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
20:16 And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel,
and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we {are} in Kadesh, a city
in the uttermost of thy border:
20:17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through
the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink {of} the water of
the wells: we will go by the king's {high} way, we will not turn to the right
hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
20:18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out
against thee with the sword.
20:19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and
if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only,
without {doing} any thing {else}, go through on my feet.
20:20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him
with much people, and with a strong hand.
20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore
Israel turned away from him.
20:22 And the children of Israel, {even} the whole congregation, journeyed from
Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
20:23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the
land of Edom, saying,
20:24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the
land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled
against my word at the water of Meribah.
20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
20:26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and
Aaron shall be gathered {unto his people}, and shall die there.
20:27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in
the sight of all the congregation.
20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his
son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came
down from the mount.
20:29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for
Aaron thirty days, {even} all the house of Israel.
21:1 And {when} king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell
that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and
took {some} of them prisoners.
21:2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed
deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
21:3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the
name of the place Hormah.
21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass
the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of
the way.
21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye
brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for {there is} no bread,
neither {is there any} water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
21:6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the
people; and much people of Israel died.
21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have
spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take
away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a
pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh
upon it, shall live.
21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to
pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of
brass, he lived.
21:10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
21:11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the
wilderness which {is} before Moab, toward the sunrising.
21:12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
21:13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which
{is} in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon
{is} the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in
the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
21:15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar,
and lieth upon the border of Moab.
21:16 And from thence {they went} to Beer: that {is} the well whereof the Lord
spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
21:18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by {the
direction of} the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness {they
went} to Mattanah:
21:19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
21:20 And from Bamoth {in} the valley, that {is} in the country of Moab, to the
top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21:21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
21:22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into
the vineyards; we will not drink {of} the waters of the well: {but} we will go
along by the king's {high} way, until we be past thy borders.
21:23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon
gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the
wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21:24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land
from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the
children of Ammon {was} strong.
21:25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of
the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
21:26 For Heshbon {was} the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had
fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand,
even unto Arnon.
21:27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the
city of Sihon be built and prepared:
21:28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon:
it hath consumed Ar of Moab, {and} the lords of the high places of Arnon.
21:29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given
his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the
Amorites.
21:30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have
laid them waste even unto Nophah, which {reacheth} unto Medeba.
21:31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
21:32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and
drove out the Amorites that {were} there.
21:33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of
Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
21:34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into
thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou
didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
21:35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none
left him alive: and they possessed his land.
22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab
on this side Jordan {by} Jericho.
22:2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
22:3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they {were} many: and Moab
was distressed because of the children of Israel.
22:4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up
all {that are} round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And
Balak the son of Zippor {was} king of the Moabites at that time.
22:5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which
{is} by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him,
saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the
face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
22:6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they {are} too
mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, {that} we may smite them, and
{that} I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest
{is} blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards
of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the
words of Balak.
22:8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word
again, as the Lord shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with
Balaam.
22:9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men {are} these with thee?
22:10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath
sent unto me, {saying},
22:11 Behold, {there is} a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of
the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome
them, and drive them out.
22:12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not
curse the people: for they {are} blessed.
22:13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak,
Get you into your land: for the Lord refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
22:14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said,
Balaam refuseth to come with us.
22:15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
22:16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of
Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
22:17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever
thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
22:18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would
give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the
Lord my God, to do less or more.
22:19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know
what the Lord will say unto me more.
22:20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to
call thee, rise up, {and} go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto
thee, that shalt thou do.
22:21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the
princes of Moab.
22:22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord
stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass,
and his two servants {were} with him.
22:23 And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword
drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the
field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
22:24 But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall
{being} on this side, and a wall on that side.
22:25 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself unto the
wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
22:26 And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place,
where {was} no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
22:27 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam:
and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
22:28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What
have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
22:29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there
were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
22:30 And the ass said unto Balaam, {Am} not I thine ass, upon which thou hast
ridden ever since {I was} thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto
thee? And he said, Nay.
22:31 Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord
standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his
head, and fell flat on his face.
22:32 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten
thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because
{thy} way is perverse before me:
22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had
turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
22:34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord, I have sinned; for I knew not
that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee,
I will get me back again.
22:35 And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the
word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with
the princes of Balak.
22:36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a
city of Moab, which {is} in the border of Arnon, which {is} in the utmost
coast.
22:37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call
thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee
to honour?
22:38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power
at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I
speak.
22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth.
22:40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes
that {were} with him.
22:41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought
him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost {part}
of the people.
23:1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven oxen and seven rams.
23:2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on
{every} altar a bullock and a ram.
23:3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go:
peradventure the Lord will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will
tell thee. And he went to an high place.
23:4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars,
and I have offered upon {every} altar a bullock and a ram.
23:5 And the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak,
and thus thou shalt speak.
23:6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he,
and all the princes of Moab.
23:7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought
me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, {saying}, Come, curse me Jacob,
and come, defy Israel.
23:8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, {whom}
the Lord hath not defied?
23:9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him:
lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth {part} of
Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
23:11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed {them} altogether.
23:12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the
Lord hath put in my mouth?
23:13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place,
from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them,
and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
23:14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and
built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on {every} altar.
23:15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet
{the Lord} yonder.
23:16 And the Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again
unto Balak, and say thus.
23:17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the
princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord spoken?
23:18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken
unto me, thou son of Zippor:
23:19 God {is} not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he
should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do {it}? or hath he spoken, and
shall he not make it good?
23:20 Behold, I have received {commandment} to bless: and he hath blessed; and
I cannot reverse it.
23:21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness
in Israel: the Lord his God {is} with him, and the shout of a king {is} among
them.
23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn.
23:23 Surely {there is} no enchantment against Jacob, neither {is there} any
divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and
of Israel, What hath God wrought!
23:24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as
a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat {of} the prey, and drink the
blood of the slain.
23:25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at
all.
23:26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All
that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?
23:27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto
another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them
from thence.
23:28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward
Jeshimon.
23:29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on
{every} altar.
24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he went not,
as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the
wilderness.
24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding {in his tents}
according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
24:3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, {falling into a trance}, but having his eyes open:
24:5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, {and} thy tabernacles, O Israel!
24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as
the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, {and} as cedar trees
beside the waters.
24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed {shall be} in
many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be
exalted.
24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones,
and pierce {them} through with his arrows.
24:9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him
up? Blessed {is} he that blesseth thee, and cursed {is} he that curseth thee.
24:10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands
together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and,
behold, thou hast altogether blessed {them} these three times.
24:11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto
great honour; but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour.
24:12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou
sentest unto me, saying,
24:13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go
beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do {either} good or bad of mine own
mind; {but} what the Lord saith, that will I speak?
24:14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come {therefore, and} I will
advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
24:15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
24:16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the
most High, {which} saw the vision of the Almighty, falling {into a trance}, but
having his eyes open:
24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there
shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and
shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
24:18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his
enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
24:19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy
him that remaineth of the city.
24:20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek
{was} the first of the nations; but his latter end {shall be} that he perish
for ever.
24:21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong
is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee
away captive.
24:23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth
this!
24:24 And ships {shall come} from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict
Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
24:25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also
went his way.
25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with
the daughters of Moab.
25:2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was
kindled against Israel.
25:4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang
them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may
be turned away from Israel.
25:5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that
were joined unto Baalpeor.
25:6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his
brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, who {were} weeping {before} the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw
{it}, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
25:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them
through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was
stayed from the children of Israel.
25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
25:10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my
wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among
them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, {even} the covenant of an
everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an
atonement for the children of Israel.
25:14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, {even} that was slain with
the Midianitish woman, {was} Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house
among the Simeonites.
25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain {was} Cozbi, the
daughter of Zur; he {was} head over a people, {and} of a chief house in Midian.
25:16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
25:18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in
the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of
Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
26:1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the Lord spake unto Moses and
unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
26:2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from
twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able
to go to war in Israel.
26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by
Jordan {near} Jericho, saying,
26:4 {Take the sum of the people}, from twenty years old and upward; as the
Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the
land of Egypt.

Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the
Lord:
26:10 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with

fifty men: and they became a sign.

26:54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give
the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to
those that were numbered of him.
26:55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names
of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
26:56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many
and few.

26:62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all
males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the
children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the
children of Israel.
26:63 These {are} they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who
numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan {near} Jericho.
26:64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the
priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of
Sinai.
26:65 For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness.
And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the
son of Joseph: and these {are} the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and
Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
27:2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the
princes and all the congregation, {by} the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them
that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but
died in his own sin, and had no sons.
27:4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family,
because he hath no son? Give unto us {therefore} a possession among the
brethren of our father.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
27:6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt
cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die,
and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
father's brethren.
27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it:
and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord
commanded Moses.
27:12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see
the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people,
as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
27:14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that
{is} the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
27:15 And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
27:16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation,
27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which
may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the
Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
27:18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in
whom {is} the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation;
and give him a charge in their sight.
27:20 And thou shalt put {some} of thine honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask {counsel} for
him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word shall they go out,
and at his word they shall come in, {both} he, and all the children of Israel
with him, even all the congregation.
27:22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him
before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the Lord
commanded by the hand of Moses.
28:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
28:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, {and} my
bread for my sacrifices made by fire, {for} a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
observe to offer unto me in their due season.
28:3 And thou shalt say unto them, This {is} the offering made by fire which ye
shall offer unto the Lord; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day,
{for} a continual burnt offering.
28:4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt
thou offer at even;
28:5 And a tenth {part} of an Ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
the fourth {part} of an hin of beaten oil.
28:6 {It is} a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for
a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
28:7 And the drink offering thereof {shall be} the fourth {part} of an hin for
the one lamb: in the holy {place} shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured
unto the Lord {for} a drink offering.
28:8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer {it}, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
28:9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two
tenth deals of flour {for} a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink
offering thereof:
28:10 {This is} the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.
28:11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto
the Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year
without spot;
28:12 And three tenth deals of flour {for} a meat offering, mingled with oil,
for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour {for} a meat offering, mingled
with oil, for one ram;
28:13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil {for} a meat offering
unto one lamb; {for} a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by
fire unto the Lord.
28:14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock,
and the third {part} of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth {part} of an hin unto a
lamb: this {is} the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the
year.
28:15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the Lord shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month {is} the passover of the
Lord.
28:17 And in the fifteenth day of this month {is} the feast: seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten.
28:18 In the first day {shall be} an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work {therein}:
28:19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire {for} a burnt offering unto
the Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year:
they shall be unto you without blemish:
28:20 And their meat offering {shall be of} flour mingled with oil: three tenth
deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
28:21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the
seven lambs:
28:22 And one goat {for} a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
28:23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which {is}
for a continual burnt offering.
28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the
meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord: it shall
be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
28:25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no
servile work.
28:26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering
unto the Lord, after your weeks {be out}, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye
shall do no servile work:
28:27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord;
two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
28:28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto
one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
28:29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
28:30 {And} one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
28:31 Ye shall offer {them} beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat
offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings.
29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first {day} of the month, ye shall have
an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the
trumpets unto you.
29:2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord; one
young bullock, one ram, {and} seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
29:3 And their meat offering {shall be of} flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals for a bullock, {and} two tenth deals for a ram,
29:4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
29:5 And one kid of the goats {for} a sin offering, to make an atonement for
you:
29:6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and the
daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings,
according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto
the Lord.
29:7 And ye shall have on the tenth {day} of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work
{therein}:
29:8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord {for} a sweet savour;
one young bullock, one ram, {and} seven lambs of the first year; they shall be
unto you without blemish:
29:9 And their meat offering {shall be of} flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals to a bullock, {and} two tenth deals to one ram,
29:10 A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
29:11 One kid of the goats {for} a sin offering; beside the sin offering of
atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and
their drink offerings.
29:12 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the
Lord seven days:
29:13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet
savour unto the Lord; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, {and} fourteen lambs
of the first year; they shall be without blemish:
29:14 And their meat offering {shall be of} flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram
of the two rams,
29:15 And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:
29:16 And one kid of the goats {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:17 And on the second day {ye shall offer} twelve young bullocks, two rams,
fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
29:18 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, {shall be} according to their number, after the
manner:
29:19 And one kid of the goats {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings.
29:20 And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the
first year without blemish;
29:21 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, {shall be} according to their number, after the
manner:
29:22 And one goat {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:23 And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, {and} fourteen lambs of the
first year without blemish:
29:24 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the
rams, and for the lambs, {shall be} according to their number, after the
manner:
29:25 And one kid of the goats {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:26 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, {and} fourteen lambs of the
first year without spot:
29:27 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, {shall be} according to their number, after the
manner:
29:28 And one goat {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:29 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, {and} fourteen lambs of
the first year without blemish:
29:30 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, {shall be} according to their number, after the
manner:
29:31 And one goat {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:32 And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, {and} fourteen lambs of
the first year without blemish:
29:33 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for
the rams, and for the lambs, {shall be} according to their number, after the
manner:
29:34 And one goat {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:35 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile
work {therein}:
29:36 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet
savour unto the Lord: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year
without blemish:
29:37 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the
ram, and for the lambs, {shall be} according to their number, after the manner:
29:38 And one goat {for} a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
29:39 These {things} ye shall do unto the Lord in your set feasts, beside your
vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat
offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.
29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord
commanded Moses.
30:1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of
Israel, saying, This {is} the thing which the Lord hath commanded.
30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a
bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth.
30:3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the Lord, and bind {herself} by a bond,
{being} in her father's house in her youth;
30:4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
30:5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her
vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the
Lord shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of
her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
30:7 And her husband heard {it}, and held his peace at her in the day that he
heard {it}: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard {it}; then he
shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips,
wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the Lord shall forgive her.
30:9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have
bound their souls, shall stand against her.
30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with
an oath;
30:11 And her husband heard {it}, and held his peace at her, {and} disallowed
her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
30:12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard {them;
then} whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning
the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the
Lord shall forgive her.
30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may
establish it, or her husband may make it void.
30:14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then
he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which {are} upon her: he
confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard
{them}.
30:15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard {them};
then he shall bear her iniquity.
30:16 These {are} the statutes, which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man
and his wife, between the father and his daughter, {being yet} in her youth in
her father's house.
31:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
31:2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be
gathered unto thy people.
31:3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the
war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.
31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye
send to the war.
31:5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of
{every} tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
31:6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of {every} tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments,
and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and
they slew all the males.
31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were
slain; {namely}, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of
Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
31:9 And the children of Israel took {all} the women of Midian captives, and
their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their
flocks, and all their goods.
31:10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly
castles, with fire.
31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, {both} of men and of
beasts.
31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses,
and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel,
unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which {are} by Jordan {near} Jericho.
31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, {with} the captains
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there
was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman
that hath known man by lying with him.
31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him,
keep alive for yourselves.
31:19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any
person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify {both} yourselves and your
captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
31:20 And purify all {your} raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all
work of goats' {hair} and all things made of wood.
31:21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle,
This {is} the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses;
31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the
lead,
31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make {it} go through the
fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water
of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the
water.
31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean,
and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
31:25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
31:26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, {both} of man and of beast,
thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
31:27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon
them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
31:28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred, {both} of the persons, and of the beeves, and
of the asses, and of the sheep:
31:29 Take {it} of their half, and give {it} unto Eleazar the priest, {for} an
heave offering of the Lord.
31:30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of
fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all
manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the
tabernacle of the Lord.
31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
31:32 And the booty, {being} the rest of the prey which the men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
31:33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
31:34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
31:35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known
man by lying with him.
31:36 And the half, {which was} the portion of them that went out to war, was
in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred
sheep:
31:37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and
fifteen.
31:38 And the beeves {were} thirty and six thousand; of which the Lord's
tribute {was} threescore and twelve.
31:39 And the asses {were} thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
Lord's tribute {was} threescore and one.
31:40 And the persons {were} sixteen thousand; of which the Lord's tribute
{was} thirty and two persons.
31:41 And Moses gave the tribute, {which was} the Lord's heave offering, unto
Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
31:42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men
that warred,
31:43 (Now the half {that pertained unto} the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand {and} seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
31:44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
31:45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
31:46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
31:47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty,
{both} of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the
charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
31:48 And the officers which {were} over thousands of the host, the captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
31:49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of
war which {are} under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath
gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets,
to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.
31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, {even} all
wrought jewels.
31:52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, of the
captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand
seven hundred and fifty shekels.
31:53 ({For} the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
31:54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation, {for} a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
32:1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great
multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of
Gilead, that, behold, the place {was} a place for cattle;
32:2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses,
and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
32:3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
32:4 {Even} the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel,
{is} a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
32:5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land
be given unto thy servants for a possession, {and} bring us not over Jordan.
32:6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben,
Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
32:7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going
over into the land which the Lord hath given them?
32:8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
32:9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they
discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into
the land which the Lord had given them.
32:10 And the Lord's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
32:11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old
and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto
Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
32:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun:
for they have wholly followed the Lord.
32:13 And the Lord's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander
in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in
the sight of the Lord, was consumed.
32:14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of
sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.
32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the
wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
32:16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for
our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
32:17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until
we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the
fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
32:18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance.
32:19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward;
because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
32:20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed
before the Lord to war,
32:21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath
driven out his enemies from before him,
32:22 And the land be subdued before the Lord: then afterward ye shall return,
and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel; and this land shall be
your possession before the Lord.
32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be
sure your sin will find you out.
32:24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do
that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
32:25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses,
saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be
there in the cities of Gilead:
32:27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord
to battle, as my lord saith.
32:28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son
of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
32:29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of
Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the
Lord, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the
land of Gilead for a possession:
32:30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
32:31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As
the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32:32 We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the
possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan {may be} ours.
32:33 And Moses gave unto them, {even} to the children of Gad, and to the
children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the
kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan,
the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, {even} the cities of the
country round about.
32:34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
32:35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
32:36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
32:37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
32:38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and
gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
32:39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took
it, and dispossessed the Amorite which {was} in it.
32:40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt
therein.
32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and
called them Havothjair.
32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it
Nobah, after his own name.
33:1 These {are} the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out
of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the
commandment of the Lord: and these {are} their journeys according to their
goings out.
33:3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of
the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went
out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
33:4 For the Egyptians buried all {their} firstborn, which the Lord had smitten
among them: upon their gods also the Lord executed judgments.
33:5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
33:6 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which {is} in the
edge of the wilderness.
33:7 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which {is}
before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
33:8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of
the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of
Etham, and pitched in Marah.
33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim {were} twelve
fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
33:10 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
33:11 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
33:12 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of sin, and encamped in
Dophkah.
33:13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
33:14 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water
for the people to drink.
33:15 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
33:16 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibrothhattaavah.
33:17 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
33:18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
33:19 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez.
33:20 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.
33:21 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
33:22 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
33:23 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
33:24 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
33:25 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
33:26 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
33:27 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
33:28 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
33:29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
33:30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
33:31 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.
33:32 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
33:33 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
33:34 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
33:35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.
33:36 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin,
which {is} Kadesh.
33:37 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of
the land of Edom.
33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the
Lord, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were
come out of the land of Egypt, in the first {day} of the fifth month.
33:39 And Aaron {was} an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in
mount Hor.
33:40 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of
Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
33:41 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
33:42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
33:43 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
33:44 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of
Moab.
33:45 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
33:46 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.
33:47 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of
Abarim, before Nebo.
33:48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains
of Moab by Jordan {near} Jericho.
33:49 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth {even} unto Abelshittim in
the plains of Moab.
33:50 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan {near}
Jericho, saying,
33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed
over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you,
and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite
pluck down all their high places:
33:53 And ye shall dispossess {the inhabitants of} the land, and dwell therein:
for I have given you the land to possess it.
33:54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your
families: {and} to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the
fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's {inheritance} shall be in
the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye
shall inherit.
33:55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you;
then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them {shall be}
pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land
wherein ye dwell.
33:56 Moreover it shall come to pass, {that} I shall do unto you, as I thought
to do unto them.
34:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
34:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the
land of Canaan; (this {is} the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, {even} the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
34:3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the
coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea
eastward:
34:4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and
pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to
Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
34:5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt,
and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
34:6 And {as for} the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a
border: this shall be your west border.
34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out
for you mount Hor:
34:8 From mount Hor ye shall point out {your border} unto the entrance of
Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
34:9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be
at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
34:11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of
Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of
Chinnereth eastward:
34:12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be
at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This {is} the land
which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine
tribes, and to the half tribe:
34:14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their
fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their
fathers, have received {their inheritance}; and half the tribe of Manasseh have
received their inheritance:
34:15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this
side Jordan {near} Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
34:16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
34:17 These {are} the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you:
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance.
34:19 And the names of the men {are} these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the
son of Jephunneh.
34:20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
34:22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of
Jogli.
34:23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of
Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
34:24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of
Shiphtan.
34:25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son
of Parnach.
34:26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son
of Azzan.
34:27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of
Shelomi.
34:28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son
of Ammihud.
34:29 These {are they} whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance unto
the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
35:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan {near}
Jericho, saying,
35:2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the
inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give {also}
unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
35:3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall
be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
35:4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,
{shall reach} from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round
about.
35:5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand
cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two
thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city {shall
be} in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
35:6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites {there shall be}
six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may
flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
35:7 {So} all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites {shall be} forty
and eight cities: them {shall ye give} with their suburbs.
35:8 And the cities which ye shall give {shall be} of the possession of the
children of Israel: from {them that have} many ye shall give many; but from
them {that have} few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto
the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
35:9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
35:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come
over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
35:11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the
slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
35:12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the
manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
35:13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for
refuge.
35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye
give in the land of Canaan, {which} shall be cities of refuge.
35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, {both} for the children of Israel,
and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that
killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
35:16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he {is} a
murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he
die, he {is} a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:18 Or {if} he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he {is} a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
35:19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth
him, he shall slay him.
35:20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he
die;
35:21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote {him}
shall surely be put to death; {for} he {is} a murderer: the revenger of blood
shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any
thing without laying of wait,
35:23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing {him} not, and cast
{it} upon him, that he die, and {was} not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
35:24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of
blood according to these judgments:
35:25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the
revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his
refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the
high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
35:26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city
of his refuge, whither he was fled;
35:27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his
refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of
blood:
35:28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death
of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall
return into the land of his possession.
35:29 So these {things} shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth
of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person {to cause
him} to die.
35:31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which
{is} guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
35:32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his
refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the
priest.
35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye {are}: for blood it defileth
the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein,
but by the blood of him that shed it.
35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell:
for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.
36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came
near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
children of Israel:
36:2 And they said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the
Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
36:3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the {other} tribes of the
children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance
of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they
are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
36:4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their
inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers.
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the
Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
36:6 This {is} the thing which the Lord doth command concerning the daughters
of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the
family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe
to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the
inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the
children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her
father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his
fathers.
36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from {one} tribe to another tribe;
but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his
own inheritance.
36:10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of
Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
36:12 {And} they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son
of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their
father.
36:13 These {are} the commandments and the judgments, which the Lord commanded
by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by
Jordan {near} Jericho.
